Had time for a brief visit this morning to look for peregrine falcons in Woburn under clear skies, bright sun, winds from SW about 13 MPH and temps inching towards low 50’s.  The male was seen perched on the nest ledge with no signs of the new female.

Made a short visit to observe the Peregrine Falcons in Woburn with beautiful bright sun and clear blue skies.  Upon arrival, found well know bird photographer and celebrity author, John “GARP” Harrison on location and taking terrific photos of the peregrines!  The new female was perched in the now dormant Common Raven nest.  She seemed to not have a care int he world and remained perched for quite a while with the male nearby in the nest ledge.  The male looked down quite a few times but remained in the nest ledge preening and soaking in the bright morning sun!

Under overcast skies and temps pushing towards high 50’s, made a short visit to observe the Woburn Peregrines.  Upon arrival found an adult on one of the utility poles in the SW corner of the main parking lot.  It had captured prey and was enjoying a mid-morning feast.  It appeared to be the new kid with the same buff coloring and dot pattern on its underparts!
